John Powell (12 August 1894 – 7 February 1968) was a Welsh international rugby union player.
Powell, born in Cardiff, was a younger brother of Wales representative Wickham Powell.[1]
A winger, Powell played his rugby for Cardiff RFC, where his three–quarter partnership with Arthur Cornish proved a success. He got a Wales opportunity for a 1923 Five Nations match against Ireland in Dublin, when Tom Johnson was declared unavailable to make the trip.[2] His drop goal contributed the only points scored by Wales in a 4–5 loss.[3]
